The Qohorik hesitated. Half his men were drunk, the northmen stone sober, & there were twice as many. Some of the crossbowmen had reloaded by now. “Pull them out,” Hoat said, & then to Jaime, “I hath chothen to be merthiful. Tell your lord father.”

“A man can own a woman or a man can own a knife,” Ygritte told him, “but no man can own both. Every little girl learns that from her mother.” She raised her chin defiantly and gave her thick red hair a shake.

“This girl’s to be your queen,” the Imp told Joffrey. “Have you no regard for her honor?”
